Imo better than Halsey.

Again, AA has been nerfed into the abyss with 0.8.7. If you still believe T8 CVs to be a pain to play, either the CV you're playing doesn't fit you or high tier CV play in general is not for you.

Was in the gamescom Q&A. https://www.reddit.com/r/WoWs_Legends/comments/cz5tmv/psa_gamescom_announcements_faq/?ref=share&ref_source=embed&utm_content=title&utm_medium=post_embed&utm_name=7aee3545d56e40d8b3c70788decf51d6&utm_source=embedly&utm_term=cz5tmv They're "debating" on whether they want CVs or not.

Spreadsheet says is fun camrade.

Well, it's official. E is gone because of "fluctuations in her combat efficiency detected after 0.8.7". I mean, I've only been telling them since 0.8.0 that she is op and their response was to buff her hard. What a truly surprising outcome.

E3 reward is going to be HMS Janus, one of Jervis' sisters. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/kancolle/comments/czk2ft/news_94_patchnote/ Yay for another ASDIC set and free OASW DD I suppose. EDIT: CG is out.

Well, I can tell you the story of how the Azur Lane collab allegedly came to be. Basically WoWs Asia devs are huge fans of the game, so they casually asked the AL devs if they want to do a collab. AL devs meanwhile are huge fans of WoWs, so they immediately agreed. Therefore one can only assume that the other collabs followed a similar route. Aka WoWs devs are weebs and proud of it much like us.

Official statement on the removal of the Enterprise from the premium shop. Source: https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/123209-dry-dock-enterprise/?tab=comments#comment-3153625

AA is objectively the weakest it has been since 0.8.0. 0.8.7 presented a gigantic nerf to AA as a whole, most T10 AA ships are lucky to have even retained half of their DPS. If you're struggling with T8 CVs in T10 matches then it is entirely on you. This applies especially to the Enterprise as she is a T10 CV in disguise.

Another question if I may. If found too powerful can she be nerfed as part of the ongoing CV rebalancing process or is she still under "premium protection"?

Yes. Now think about how you can abuse that to your advantage.

@The_EURL_Guy is a bot apparently. No use in tagging it. Still, an official statement would be nice @Crysantos @MrConway @Sehales.

Flak is irrelevant. Flak has fixed firing intervals. There is no such thing as a faster or slower flak rate of fire. Flak can be easily dodged even at maximum saturation.

DDs in general have 100% hit probability on their long and medium range AA so yes, that's probably as intended. Hit probability in itself is a bit of a misnomer. It's a multiplier for DPS (DPS x hit probability percentage = true DPS, so if hit probability is 90% and your AA does 100 damage, 100 x 0.9 = 90 true DPS) and does not affect accuracy or sth along those lines. It also influences how many flak bursts get spawned out of the possible maximum but that's mostly irrelevant.

All I see is Because yuo see camrade, when pull ship from store must make sure ship is even more op! Except DPS values are somewhat comparable. The real difference lies in plane speed nerfs and AA focus on single planes rather than spreading damage across the entire squad, which however is clearly not enough to offset the gigantic hit AA DPS has taken across the board. AA is not as weak as in 0.8.0. It is however definitely closer to it than 0.8.0.1 and subsequent.

Atlanta AA is terrible nowadays. She hasn't been an AA ship since 0.8.0.

Flak can be easily dodged and as such plays no role in AA defense whatsoever. There is no such thing as unavoidable flak due to the way it aims.

Indeed, which is why you have to look up her values ingame. She'll get added eventually tho. Long range dps is 147, mid range is 284 for a combined total of 431. Losing just one AA gun cuts her mid range DPS down by almost 50.

Which says more about the sorry state of AA post 0.8.7 rather than Friesland's AA power. And Friesland is fat. She presents a bigger target profile than even Grozovoi which already eats 10k rocket salvos on a regular basis.

Not that I know of, no. You can however use https://wowsft.com/ship?lang=en to look up values without going ingame.

You should have added "has laughable AA after 0.8.7" at 434 total dps. To put this into perspective: Colorado: 461 dps Monarch: 513 dps Cleve: 549 dps Hipper: 420 dps So yeah, it's not even good for divisioning with a CV.

Friesland has less AA than a Colorado.

On a different note, Enterprise has mysteriously vanished from the premium shop across all servers. Seems like they finally realized she is ludicrously op. Just took them 8 months and a hilarious buff to do so. Also WoWs console may not get CVs anymore LOL.

And here we go again with the dishonesty. Regardless what WG says is irrelevant. What they actually do matters. And that is nerf AA globally, not just that of strong AA ships. No one claimed that. It is however rather close as you have just proven yourself. An assumption based entirely on 0.8.6 AA being too strong, which it was not. 0.8.5 and 0.8.6 have been the closest to something even remotely resembling balance so far. As such balance had nothing to do with this change. It was entirely motivated by population concerns as can be inferred from previous WG statements.

Considering all other CVs are still there and no announcement has been made it does strike me as weird. Maybe they've finally decided to give her the Belfast treatment as she is way overpowered.
